Chapter 123: Still Short of Manpower?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fang Yuan found herself succumbing to desire, and her body gradually grew pliant.

In the driver’s seat, Mu Qing felt like he had been dealt a devastating blow. Did no one consider the feelings of single people? Didn’t single people deserve respect? He was in an indescribable mood, full of torture. He felt redundant once more, like a massive, million-watt lightbulb. He even contemplated changing his name to “Redundant Mu.”

After an indefinite period of time, the protracted kiss finally came to an end.

Bo Yi’s eyes still gleamed with longing, his voice slightly hoarse as he confessed, “Yuanyuan, I genuinely like you.”

Fang Yuan’s chest rose and fell slightly, and her eyes were somewhat dazed.

There was boundless affection in Bo Yi’s gaze. “1 really like you.”

Fang Yuan… remained speechless.

Bo Yi quipped, “Is your company in need of more staff?”

“Huh?” Fang Yuan was puzzled by his remark.

Bo Yi clarified, “I’d like to be your assistant.”

Fang Yuan… continued to be baffled.

Bo Yi persisted, “I could be your bodyguard.”

Fang Yuan… remained perplexed.

Bo Yi pressed on, “I’m open to any role in your office, even a janitor.”

Fang Yuan retorted, “Can’t you aim for something greater?”

“As long as I can be near you all the time, I’m not afraid of being unproductive,” Bo Yi murmured, lowering his gaze. “1 want to be worthless for the rest of my life.”

Fang Yuan… was at a loss for words.

He cupped her petite face earnestly and said, “I like you. 1 want to have you with me all the time, for three meals a day, and throughout all four seasons of the year.”

Fang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, as if she had been genuinely touched by his words.

“I’ve never had feelings for Cheng Yuqi,” Bo Yi declared emphatically. “In my entire life, the only person who has stirred my emotions is you. It was you in the past, it’s you now, and it will always be you in the future.”

“Understood,” Fang Yuan replied, not anticipating such sweet words from Bo Yi. She turned her face away, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Bo Yi observed Fang Yuan’s ears and flashed a mischievous grin. “You’re blushing.”

Fang Yuan… remained silent.

“Yuanyuan, are you feeling shy?” Bo Yi gently held her face and affectionately rubbed it. “You’re incredibly adorable.”

Fang Yuan was at a loss for words. Prior to meeting Bo Yi, no one had ever called her cute. People had always described her as cold and unfeeling.

Bo Yi continued, “You look so charming when you’re bashful. You look stunning when you’re angry. And you look even more captivating when you’re jealous!”

Fang Yuan was taken aback. “Who’s jealous?”

Bo Yi playfully remarked, “It was this morning when you treated me coldly.”

Fang Yuan felt that she wasn’t jealous. She simply detested Cheng Yuqi’s deplorable behavior, but it wasn’t about jealousy.

“If you don’t mind, the next time another woman approaches me…” He teased her intentionally, eager to see her reaction.

Fang Yuan raised her eyebrows and responded, “There better not be a ‘next time.’ It’s a warning.”

Bo Yi grinned even wider. “1 promise there won’t be a next time!”

Mu Qing, in the background, sighed internally. He fervently hoped that they could find a more appropriate place to display their affection. What had he done to deserve this torture?

After her lunch break, Fang Yuan returned to the company. As she stepped off the elevator, she could hear Wang Ning’s voice in the distance.

Wang Ning was presently blocking the path of seven or eight male employees, preventing them from entering Fang Yuan’s office.

One of the male employees in a white shirt pleaded, “Assistant Wang, I have genuine feelings for President Fang…”

Wang Ning extended his hand to cut him off. “No, no, no. 1 just want to know, do you own a house and a car in Jing City?”

The man shook his head.

Wang Ning inquired, “How much do you have in your savings?”

The man replied, “Five figures…”

“Five figures, and you dare to pursue our President Fang?” Wang Ning retorted in frustration.

“Assistant Wang, I’m sincere about this. I’ll work hard to earn more money in the future!” the man promised earnestly.

Wang Ning rolled his eyes at him. “In this day and age, sincerity alone doesn’t count for much. I advise you to head home early after work. Drink less water and go to bed early. Dreams have everything you need!”

Another male employee, wearing a hopeful smile, wedged himself in. “Assistant Wang, 1 own a 6o-square-meter apartment in the heart of Jing City, a 200,000 yuan car, my monthly salary has already reached 10,000 yuan, and 1 have a six-figure savings! Please help me deliver this letter to President Fang’s desk…”

Wang Ning looked at the man with a receding hairline and bit back the urge to scold him. He said patiently, “Old Ma, to be honest, you’re already 33 years old. Can’t you steer clear of this? Our President Fang is only 18! Keep your distance!”

Yet another male employee held a thermal lunchbox. “Assistant Wang, I prepared this lunch for President Fang at home today. Please help me deliver it to her. I’m sure President Fang will be delighted.”

Wang Ning frowned. “You have a crush on President Fang too?”

The man nodded. “Yes!”

Wang Ning asserted, “You can’t win President Fang’s heart. She doesn’t favor well-behaved types like you.” Wang Ning sized up the man before him, who was rather thin and appeared out of place next to President Fang..
